Think of Net Promoter Score (NPS) software as a tool to measure your customers’ feelings about your product, and categorize them based on their level of loyalty (promoters, neutrals, and detractors). The great advantage of these tools is that they streamline the creation, distribution, and analysis of NPS surveys. So they make it easier to send these surveys and get more responses.

“Our vision is to be the best!” Cue awkward silence in the conference room. “Best at… what exactly?” “Everything!” If you’ve ever sat through a company strategy meeting and left with your head spinning, you’re experiencing a common problem.

Working as a product trio is the foundation for discovery. Without input from a product manager, a designer, and an engineer, it’s difficult for us to account for the cross-functional perspectives we need to build successful products.

Image from Apple, Inc. Artificial Intelligence is no longer a distant dream or an add-on feature; it’s becoming a crucial part of our daily tools. As a product designer, I’ve seen firsthand the shift from AI being something external to it becoming a core element embedded within the products we use. The focus now is on integrating AI directly into app design, and I firmly believe this approach will fundamentally change how users interact with technology.
